Volume 1 The Wraith of the Mansion Chapter 4 The Terrible Ghost Strikes the Wall
The staircase created by this evil spirit, which can never escape, is like a cage, and the only living person in it, Xu Lang, is the lamb to be slaughtered.
Xu Lang stood in place, pressed his heart beating wildly from running violently, covered his mouth, forced himself not to make a sound, and waited for about five minutes to make sure that the evil spirit did not attack him, and began to analyze the current situation.
"This should be a ghost hitting the wall, it is a common ability of evil spirits, but it has no ability to harm, and the most direct effect is to trap humans and facilitate torture and killing."
It had been six or seven minutes since Xu Lang entered the ghost wall, and it stands to reason that the evil spirits should have attacked him a long time ago, but at this moment, he had not received any substantial harm except for some psychological oppression.
Is it because it didn't trigger a dead end, so that the evil spirit can't do anything to him?
But Xu Lang can almost rule out this, the bloody mission experience and ultra-high mortality rate in the past have come to a conclusion, and during the mission, you will never escape the pursuit of evil spirits because you do nothing.
Then there are only two possibilities, one is that the evil spirit is lured away after using the ability of the ghost to hit the wall, and the other is that the evil spirit just wants to trap itself.
Xu Lang would not think that the evil spirit was open to himself, so it must have been the moment he was trapped, and the evil spirit was led away by another group of people.
And since I entered the building, I have done almost nothing, and if walking can be regarded as triggering a dead end, then everyone will die in an instant. So it's very likely that the gang triggered a dead end and was attacked by evil spirits first.
Thinking of this, Xu Lang was a little anxious, he understood that the group of people must be the key to completing the task, once they were killed, then they would definitely die because they couldn't find a way to live.
The more urgent the situation, the more you can't panic, Xu Lang subconsciously pushed his glasses and forced himself to comb again,
"The series of activities that I entered the building were so good that I didn't get attacked, and the ghost hitting the wall was the first weird thing.
But how did you get targeted by evil spirits......
Back before the ghost hit the wall, the only thing that was wrong and even forced him to the third floor was the severed hand! ”
Xu Lang saw the bleeding severed hand, and with a moment of fright, he subconsciously deduced that it was a person who was chased by evil spirits and could not keep surviving, but if he thought about it differently......
Severed hands, maybe not left by humans at all?
Thinking of this, Xu Lang had an idea, and then took out two gauze balls from his backpack and stuffed them into his ears, then closed his eyes and slowly walked up.
The so-called ghost hitting the wall, in fact, is a kind of visual and auditory misguidance, so it is also called ghost blinding, etc., in the staircase space without reference, no matter how far you go, in fact, it is just standing still.
And Xu Lang first closed his eyes, blocking vision, and then blocking his ears, cutting off hearing.
Of course, these are not ways to break the ghost wall, because this is the ability created by real evil spirits, which is different from reality, so it is the most crucial step to get out of the stairs.
It didn't take long for Xu Lang's head to hit a hard object, and when he opened his eyes, an iron door appeared in front of him.
Xu Lang turned the handle, and sure enough, as he expected, he couldn't open it at all, as if there was something behind the door blocking it.
The ghost of this evil spirit hitting the wall is somewhat different from reality, which can actually be explained by the spiral effect of sight and hearing, that is, the five senses are confused and can be easily broken.
But Xu Lang's ghost hitting the wall and walking the stairs is only the first step, and the most important thing is to open this iron door.
However, he already had an idea in his heart, thinking of the severed hand inside the second floor, which was actually torn off by brute force, and manpower couldn't do it at all. It's just that the situation was urgent at that time, Xu Lang didn't think about it, and subconsciously thought that it was a living person who cut off his hand in order to survive.
Now it is obvious that the severed hand is left by the evil spirit, and Xu Lang fell into the crisis of the ghost hitting the wall because he opened the iron door and caused the severed hand to fall to the ground.
Break your hand to the ground and open the ghost to hit the wall. Then Xu Lang is eighty percent sure, and then holding the broken hand on the handle is the way to close the ghost hitting the wall and push open the iron door in front of him.
Xu Lang took out a fruit knife from his right pocket, which was also taken out of the newspaper office, and he was used to being prepared for emergencies with a cautious temperament.
The knife is not big, but sharp enough to cut off a hand, and it is not a big problem.
Xu Lang pushed his glasses again, held his left hand tightly on the handle, a cold light flashed in his eyes, gritted his teeth, and directly inserted the knife into his wrist.
Because the knife is not big enough, you can only cut the bone one at a time.
The sound of "crunch, crunch" and grinding bones echoed in the stairs, it was terrifying, blood was scattered on the ground in pieces, Xu Lang's entire left arm was numb, and the sharp pain that penetrated into the bone marrow made Xu Lang sweat profusely, gritting his teeth but not saying a word.
I don't know how many times I cut it, but my left hand finally separated from my left arm, and due to the spasm of my body, my severed left hand still held firmly on the handle.
Xu Lang had no strength at this time, and used his body to pounce on the iron door, at this time, the iron door was not half an obstacle, and it was easily pushed open, and then Xu Lang fell to the ground and almost fainted.
But he knew that getting out of the ghost and hitting the wall did not mean that he was safe, and fainting at this time was fatal.
Xu Lang struggled to get up, sat on the ground and opened the backpack with his right hand, and wrapped the wound on his left arm, which was still bleeding, with gauze to stop the bleeding.
Leaning on the iron door, the loss of blood made him drowsy, Xu Lang took out a cigarette case from his jacket pocket and lit one, he was very addicted to cigarettes, a pack a day, but he never felt that cigarettes could make him feel like he was in heaven.
Glancing at the time, it was only a little more than two hours before the mission began, and he hadn't even seen the shadow of the evil spirit, he had already lost a hand, is this the horror of the mission......
Being able to smoke a cigarette safely now is a luxury for him, and now Xu Lang is only looking forward to giving him time to finish this cigarette so that he can refresh himself for the next thing.
But the reality is cruel, when the cigarette burned halfway, there was a terrible scream from the upper floor, which frightened Xu Lang and quickly got up from the ground.
It was the voice of a young woman, and I am afraid that something terrible had happened, and she seemed to have lost her mind.
Xu Lang fell into thinking again, go, or not.
If you go upstairs to look for it, you will probably face the evil spirit, and if you meet him in his current condition, you will die. But if you don't go, you are likely to miss important clues, and you may never find a way out.
Xu Lang was never a hesitant person, thinking for less than three seconds, he went straight to the stairwell on the fourth floor.
If you don't go, you will wait for death slowly, and if you try to save the woman, you may have a chance to complete the task.
Xu Lang quickly climbed the stairs, and waited at the staircase of each floor for a few seconds, listening for the sound of footsteps running away, until the 9th floor, pushing open the iron door of the stairs, a young woman with a cloak and a frightened face was rushing towards the staircase, but her originally beautiful face was completely deformed because of fear, looking like an evil spirit.
Seeing Xu Lang at the top of the stairs, the woman cried out instantly as if she had seen her relatives, and she didn't know what she was screaming incoherently. Xu Lang knew that the situation was urgent, and although he didn't see the evil spirit, he knew that it shouldn't be far from them, so he dragged the woman into the stairwell.
The woman was still shouting and screaming, obviously frightened, Xu Lang whispered a few words to tell her to calm down, otherwise with such a big movement, the evil spirits could be found wherever she fled.
The woman seemed to have collapsed, Xu Lang's words couldn't be heard at all, and she was forced to be helpless, Xu Lang stepped forward and slapped her twice, and pulled out a bloodstained fruit knife, "If you shout again, I'll kill you." ”
Looking at the fierce man in front of her and the fruit knife full of blood, the woman finally closed her mouth, but two lines of tears still flowed down her eyes, and she could see that she was really frightened.
Xu Lang knew that if he was delayed, an evil spirit might appear at any time, so he took the woman's hand and ran upstairs, and tore off the woman's bag and threw it downstairs.
The two deliberately slowed their steps, trying not to make a sound, originally Xu Lang thought that the woman would not be so honest, but she let Xu Lang lead her, like a walking corpse.
Until he ran to the 13th floor, Xu Lang stopped, closed the iron door of the stairs gently, and listened quietly with his ear against the door for a while, the wind and waves were calm, and the evil spirit didn't seem to catch up.
Xu Lang finally exhaled the breath that he had been hanging, it seemed that this evil spirit did not have that terrifying sensing ability, and could not immediately lock the location of the living. He threw the woman's bag down from the 9th floor to see if he could trick the evil spirit, so as to judge whether the evil spirit had the ability to sense the living.
Fortunately, the difficulty of this mission is not that high, otherwise it would have been dead before you could find a way to live.
Xu Lang looked at the silent woman beside him, is the clue to her really on her?
This is not the place to ask, Xu Lang is ready to search whether there is a room to hide under this layer of searching, with his only remaining right hand, he took the woman's hand, and a cool feeling penetrated into the palm, the feeling of cold pierced people's hearts, Xu Lang shivered, and instantly let go as if he was bitten by a poisonous snake, and couldn't help but observe the woman beside him.
In her twenties, her originally beautiful long hair is now in a mess, and her beautiful face is now hideous, her eyes are dull, she keeps biting her lip, and she is faintly bleeding, no matter how you look at it, she is an ordinary woman who is frightened.
Xu Lang frowned,
"Could it be that the cold just now, I felt wrong?
At present, it is better to find a safe place and ask her about it. ”
The two of them were quietly looking for a safe room on the 13th floor, but Xu Lang, who was looking left and right in front of them, did not notice it at all, and the obedient woman behind her who was like a marionette began to focus on Xu Lang.
Then, she slowly stretched out her bloodless left hand, and was about to grab Xu Lang's shoulder......
